Four lessons

Thanks to Dan Henderson and Dan's Bullets for the following excellent message. As you read each point I would suggest that you pause after each point and think about what it is saying to you.  Enjoy and learn.

Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke

Richard Branson is he one of the most famous and respected entrepreneurs in the world. He shared some of his wisdom with sales guru, Ari Galper.

I concur… 

1. Curiousity Is King 

To build and grow a successful business, means to have an innate ability to be curious. The sands around your business are constantly shifting. Look for the “dips” as new opportunities. 

2. Be Passionate About Others 

If you are not passionate about the people you can help the most or not passionate about your team’s potential, success will be elusive.

Focusing on the core needs of others and connecting to those needs are the key elements of trust between people.

Make that bond so strong, that others around you can feel that you are not just passionate about what you do, but you are passionate about what they do. 

3. Listen and Learn

Many ambitious entrepreneurs have a tendency to talk a lot and listen a little.

They talk a lot because hearing themselves makes them feel in control.

Richard shared that if you are contantly listening, no matter how successful you are, you’ll reach beyond any obstacle that might try to stand in your way.

Listening to others exponentially speeds up the time that you find new opportunities to get you back on track. 

4. The Enterprepenuerial Journey is an “S” curve

Richard points out … the journey is NEVER a straight line.

There will be bends, twists, and turns that could easily take you off course.

But when you realize that coming off an “s” curve is exactly where you are supposed to be, you reach a level of calmness that gives you the strength to move forward.
